Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Evoraa Health offers a range of IOPs to address various mental health and addiction issues, including: 

• Intensive Outpatient Program for Substance Use Disorder: This program helps individuals overcome addiction to drugs or alcohol by providing comprehensive therapy, counseling, education, and support with individualized treatment plans.
• Intensive Outpatient Program for Mental Health: Our mental health IOP provides intensive therapy and support for individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and other mental health conditions. 
• Intensive Outpatient Program for Dual Diagnosis: For individuals struggling with substance use disorders and mental health challenges simultaneously, our dual diagnosis IOP offers integrated treatment to address the complexities of these co-occurring conditions. 

An IOP is an appropriate fit for individuals requiring structured treatment and support for mental health or substance use issues but do not need 24/7 care provided by inpatient programs or the level of intensity found with partial hospitalization programs (PHPs). Other criteria that might make an IOP an appropriate fit include:

• Individuals who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy.
• Those transitioning from a higher level of care.
• Individuals who require more flexibility than those found with PHPs. 
• People with stable, safe, and supportive living arrangements.
• Those motivated and committed to actively participate in their recovery.

The duration of an IOP varies based on several factors, such as the substance use disorder, frequency, dosage, and duration of substance use, or the severity of the mental health disorder. Usually, IOPs last between 4 and 12 weeks but can last longer based on individual needs and treatment goals and objectives. 

During treatment, as progress is made, care plans are reviewed periodically. This helps determine when it is appropriate for participants to gradually step down their level of care to outpatient services for a few hours each week. 

During an IOP at Evoraa Health, participants can expect to receive comprehensive and individualized treatment that may include a variety of components such as:

• Psychiatry: Assessment, diagnosis, medication management, and monitoring by a psychiatrist are included in the program to address mental health and substance use disorders.
• Individual Therapy: Regular individual counseling sessions with a therapist are essential to explore personal challenges, uncover underlying causes and triggers, set goals for recovery, and work through emotional issues in a supportive environment.
• Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): MAT may be offered as part of treatment plans to help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings for substance use disorders and to manage symptoms associated with mental health disorders.
• Group Therapy: Group therapy allows individuals to connect with peers facing similar challenges, share experiences, gain support, learn and practice coping skills, and build relationships with one another for further support and encouragement. 
• Holistic Therapy: Holistic therapies like yoga, mindfulness, art therapy, meditation, and music therapy help people express their emotions and feelings in a safe environment while working on healing and restoring the mind and body. 
• Spravato (Ketamine) Therapy: Spravato therapy involves using ketamine under supervision to help individuals with depression, anxiety, PTSD, other mental health disorders, and substance use disorders.
